In mathematical logic, a Gödel numbering is a function that assigns to each symbol and well-formed formula of some formal language a unique natural number, called its Gödel number. The concept was used by Kurt Gödel for the proof of his incompleteness theorems.

What is Godel's incompleteness theory?
Gödel's incompleteness theorem was a theorem that Kurt Gödel proved about Principia Mathematica, a system for expressing and proving statements of number theory with formal logic. Gödel proved that Principia Mathematica, and any other possible system of that kind, must be either incomplete or inconsistent: that is, either there exist true statements of number theory that cannot be proved using the system, or it is possible to prove contradictory statements in the system.
What is the probability that someone will answer at least one of the eight questions correctly?
The answer to this question depends on how easy or difficult the eight questions are. If, for example, the questions were based on Godel's incompleteness theorem it is very likely that nobody could answer them - ever.
How long to know all the mathematics?
Longer than you or anyone else will live! Thanks to Godel, there are statements about mathematical systems such that neither they, not their negation, can ever be proven to be true. This allows a whole new family of mathematical thinking to develop.
